so show him the respect he deserves and pay him out until he wants to hang em up.... 5 mill aint all that much in the grand scheme of things.. is the owner really that greedy?

this isn't an old age home & or nursery....
when was the nfl/nba/any sport about paying players getting up there in age out of "loyalty"?
bigger legends have been cut/traded/shipped out for less than $5M

He's not going anywhere. Not sure why ANY Packer fan would think otherwise.

finley is overrated.. he had at least one costly drop in every big packer game this season. he had one "great" game this season with 7 catches for 85 yards, it just so happened that 3 were in the end zone. rodgers makes him look better than he is. franchising him would be a mistake IMHO

I guess Bear fans have to look this far to find things to take pride in

What's your point? You made the playoffs once in 10 something years and didnt win a single game. Your team is NY Knick status, prisoner of the moment hypejobs. You're the last franchise to be able to say anything in this division given the fact Ive seen the Packers and Bears in the Super Bowl and Ive seen the Vikings make it to the NFCCG but never seen your team do anything since the division realignment. The closest Detroit were to a Super Bowl in comparison to everyone in our division was the year you hosted Super Bowl XL.

it's not like he's making gilbert arenas, elton brand eddie curry on the knicks type money. driver is the packers franchise leader in receptions, by far the most sure-handed receiver on the team, and they're paying the worst RB and one of the most overrated TEs in the NFL combined 1.5 times driver's salary

As of right now, today, JerMichael Finley is better than Donald Driver. Doesn't mean I endorse letting him go, but if you have to pick one.... it's Finley.

Naw, I took pride in roasting you dtown. I take pride in the '85 Bears, the fact we made it too the Super Bowl in the last 10 years, and the fact that we won the NFC North in 2010 and made it too the NFC North Championship in 2011.

Your organization is 80 years + old and has nothing to take pride in except the fact that Matt Millen got butt r*ped by Jerry Sandusky.

finley is just a big name. fact is beasts dont have dogsh*t years. played bad the whole YEAR not just 4 or 5 bad games. dude has had like 35 drops this season. NO packer fan has ever questioned how finley could possibly be going? no one has said this dude has to go after his 5th drop of the game? especially when we got 4 other tight ends

i wouldnt franchise him but id give him a contract cuz i still think hes valuable but if he turned it down he turns it down

Now...

none of this changes the fact that your franchise and mine are going in opposite directions buddy ..

but good luck finding an OC who can run an offense simple enough for jay cutler to comprehend, a competent GM, 2 or 3 Wideouts who are worth a velvet painting of a whale and a donkey gettin it on, reloading on defense because your current guys only have 2 years max left until they are mostly bums, and saving enough cap space to shell out a lot of it to forte .. piece of cake right?
